In The Magic Rainbow, Tamariz takes his readers and their audiences farther up The Magic Way until they are delivered to the ultimate destination, where logical analysis is abandoned to emotions of amazement, fascination and wonder; where the feeling of magic becomes, for a while, an impossibility firmly rooted in reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn explaining how the magician can achieve this goal, Tamariz provides remarkable and original techniques that make it possible to erase bits of memory that might lead to the method of the trick, and how to enhance and create memories that build the impossibility of the effect both immediately and in the future. He gives an original strategy for dealing with technical mistakes when they happen during performances. He explains why and how comedy and drama combine with magic, in both bad and good ways, how to make the most effective combinations for creating astonishing and memorable magic—and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Rainbow is Juan Tamariz’s magnum opus on magic-performance theory. It presents essays, explanations, revelations, insight and analysis—forty years of thinking by the world’s most respected and beloved magician. Above all, The Magic Rainbow is Juan Tamariz’s love song to magic and magicians, with lyrics that will guide your performances to their highest peaks and your audiences to the rainbow of magical emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e594 pages.

But what about the magician who wishes to perform for larger audiences and higher fees? Card tricks suitable for parlor, platform and stage are far fewer, and finding them requires searching through the countless books in which they are scattered. Magicians wishing to perform with cards for more than a few people have never been given a compact and authoritative source of information and tricks-until now. Standup Card Magic is the first book devoted to teaching the tools, tricks and routines necessary for entertaining and amazing banquet, corporate, trade-show and theater audiences. All this is taught through the eyes and experience of a world-class magician and teacher.

From there he teaches how to interact with a larger group of spectators, how to choose the right people to assist you, how to get them onto the stage and how to manage their behavior there. He then provides a meaty discussion of the right sleights to use in standup and stage performances. Following this are detailed explanations of many of his beststandup card routines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll the material is taken from Giobbi's professional repertoire, honed over many years of performances in front of international audiences. Card magicians who wish to perform powerful card magic for larger groups finally have a book that addresses their needs. Standup Card Magic not only provides the tools, magic and presentational guidelines, it also shows its readers how to develop further standup card magic, where to find it and how to bring cardtricks from the close-up table onto the stage. Standup Card Magic is a comprehensive study of professional-­caliber, standup card conjuring, and is designed to show you how to take your card magic to new levels and larger audiences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Murphy's Magic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35804497608853,"sku":"57887","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/7691\/9957\/products\/57887-full.png?v=1597960707"},{"product_id":"stars-of-magic-soft-cover-by-meir-yedid","title":"Stars Of Magic (Soft Cover) By Meir Yedid","description":"If you have not read and learned the magic contained in this book, you are not yet a full-fledged, close-up magician. The magic by John Scarne, Dai Vernon, Bert Allerton, S.

In many ways, it contains all the magic you need to build a professional caliber repertoire. Many have earned a living performing these routines and now you can, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes: 41 incredible routines by 11 amazing artists, a historical introduction and a bonus section with private correspondence related to the Stars of Magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecond Edition.

Starting out by taking a pinch of ashes from an ash tray, you cause ball after ball to mysteriously materialize, multiply and vanish. At the end of the routine, the balls become ashes once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries 1, No. 2: John Scarne's Triple Coincidence:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing two ordinary decks with backs of different designs, the spectator shuffles one deck while the performer shuffles the other. At no time does the performer touch the spectator's deck. The spectator cuts his deck three times, each time exchanging a card with the performer. When both ribbon-spread their decks, a miracle is accomplished -- each time, the spectator and performer turn up one of the three stranger cards in their decks, the cards turn out to be alike -- a knock-out triple coincidence. Both decks are left on the table for examination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries 1, No. 3: John Scarne's Silver and Copper Trick:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA silver coin in the spectator's hand changes place magically with a copper coin in the hand of the performer. This is followed by a beautiful penetration effect of the coin passing through the trousers pocket. For many years, magicians were under the impression that Scarne used gimmicked coins. Now, Scarne shows that he does it with ordinary coins and gives you his exact method.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries 2, No. 1: Dai Vernon's Triumph:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDai Vernon divulges one of his most astonishing discoveries, an exquisite card miracle entitled \"Triumph.\" A revolutionary sleight is involved which will be coveted by every magician. It is an easy-to-do false shuffle equivalent to a pull-through shuffle, considered one of the most difficult of all gambling sleights. Very few magicians are able to execute a neat and deceptive pull-through because it requires years of constant practice and most of them have abandoned the effort in disgust. Now, by means of Dai Vernon's false shuffle, you can achieve the same result with very little practice. You will find it the perfect false shuffle for maintaining the order of the reds and blacks. Furthermore, lovers of gambling tricks will rejoice in this sleight because the order of the entire pack can be kept intact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries 2, No. 2: Dai Vernon's Cutting the Aces:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe four aces, fairly distributed throughout the deck, are cut to with uncanny accuracy in a new and impressive manner. Few magicians have as yet been privileged to view this extraordinary routine that produces one of the most entertaining impromptu effects in card magic. Dai Vernon also discloses here, for the first time, his own method of controlling cards during the process of cutting.

The depth and breadth of his work, though, has not been recognized for what it is: a radical new system and theory of coin methodology, one that leads to a fresh paradigm in the art of magic with coins. Few indeed can claim a body of sleights with coins so innovative and capable of wide application that it constitutes a system on which both classic effects can be redesigned and new ones founded. That is what Giacomo Bertini’s System of Amazement presents: his theory of “micro-misdirection”, his many original sleights, and a generous selection of the tricks and routines they make possible. The result is a new galaxy of utterly baffling coin magic, laid open for your appreciation and that of your audiences. Discover a whole new way of approaching miracles with coins: The Bertini System!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGiacomo Bertini is a true original in the field of coin magic. Growing up in Florence, Italy, Giacomo developed a passion for coin magic but could find little information on it. The Italian literature on coin magic was small and dated, and Giacomo had met no magicians sharing his interest. So he did something quite dangerous; he began to invent in a near vacuum. Dangerous because creation without knowledge of what has been done in a field frequently leads to new wheels identical to old ones. But Giacomo was lucky as well as gifted. His inventiveness avoided unknowing replication. Beyond that, it was genuinely innovative and highly deceptive, capable of amazing public audiences and magicians wise in the known ways of coin magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGiacomo went back to the roots of coin magic, embraced them and pushed them to new heights. And as he added fresh techniques to a growing body of sleights and concepts, he integrated them into what eventually became The Bertini System for Amazement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile pieces of this system have previously appeared in periodicals, lecture notes and on video, this book is the first to present the system, integrated and fully detailed, with all the published sleights and new ones, along with stunning, professional tricks and routines developed from the system. Even the best informed in coin magic will discover groundbreaking ideas and beautiful deceptions in Giacomo Bertini’s System for Amazement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Magic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35804499968149,"sku":"63911","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/7691\/9957\/products\/63911-full.png?v=1597894012"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/7691\/9957\/collections\/cardcoll1-full.jpg?v=1783459447","url":"https:\/\/brickandmortarmagic.com\/collections\/bill-money-tricks-copy.oembed?page=131","provider":"J \u0026 B Magic Shop and Theater","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
